Heat oil over medium high heat in a wok or large frying pan. Sauté onion garlic, mushrooms and water chestnuts for 5 minutes. Remove to a bowl, retaining oil in the pan. Sauté chicken strips for 10 minutes or until golden brown on both sides and thoroughly cooked inside. Remove and when slightly cool, cut into smaller pieces. Add to onion mixture.

Why the NAME?

I believe that Martha in the Bible learned to sit at Jesus’ feet by the time she spoke that Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life when Lazarus lay in the tomb. She was still very much Martha, though. So she learned to put the pre in preparation in her home.
